Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When having an interview, it’s not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they’ll put you on the spot and they’ll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs.65. What should you think about when having an interview?A. How to express what you want to say.B. How to use a flat monotone voice.C. How to ask very detailed questions.D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you needn’t explain _________.A. the action you tookB. the results you gotC. your eagerness to carry out the projectD. a situation or a task that you were given67. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A. To give suggestions on having an interview.B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer.C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before interview.D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.(B)Dear Lee,As I told you, I’ll be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking care of my “children” while I’m away. Like real children, they can be kind of annoying sometimes, but I’m going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they’re getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you don’t watch her, she’ll chew anything, like the sofa, chairs, including her “sister”, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts biting on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then you’ll see her wandering around whimpering(低吠) with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. She’ll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, she’ll wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, don’t I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up.Regina’s food is the Puppy Chow in the same room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Regina likes to eat bones best and she is likely to be an overeater, but I don’t want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share water with Rex(the King), but be sure it’s changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which it’s important to romp with her for a while in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. She’d rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her, I hope you’ll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws…(letter continues)Yours,Linda68. Linda uses the word children to describe her pets because ________.A. she believes her pets possess childlike qualitiesB. the pets have taken the place of her childrenC. she dresses them in children’s clothingD. the pets all have a lovely girlish figure69. If the pet sitter doesn’t supervise her, ________.A. Regina will play with the catB. Regina will spend an hour wanderingC. Regina will solve her problem herselfD. Regina will damage her owner’s furniture70. The pet sitter is advised to tell Regina “good girl” ________.A. after Regina finds the ballB. after Regina drops the ballC. when Regina brings the ball backD. every time Regina goes after the ball71. What are the three animals mentioned in the letter?A. Two cats and a dog.B. A cat, a dog and a parrot.C. Two dogs and an unspecified animal.D. A dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal.(C)The requisite visit happened typically on every Saturday, when my child spirits were at their highest as it was sunny and could be most weakened by the narrow inner part of my grandmother’s house. My mother, accustomed to the bright, spacious farmhouse that was Grandma’s, seemed no less sensitive to the darkness. She would set her jaw and listened when Grandma described how many small illnesses appeared as she grew older and would check her watch—an hour being the minimum she expected herself to endure. Her barely contained impatience and my grandmother’s disabled age radiated out around me.I would sit at the white and red metal table with the pull-out and built-in silverware drawer, cracking almonds(杏仁). This was the one good thing at Grandma’s house, the almonds, which she kept in a green glass bowl. I would lift the lid carefully and try to set it down on the metal table quietly, then attempt to crack the nuts without scattering the shell crumbs（碎屑）. It was not good to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s. Sounding angry, she would call to me in her long drawl(长调). When I failed to understand her, she would reach out to me with her trembling and wrinkled hand and shout, “Here!” She would be offering some of her handmade candy, which tasted a little bitter.There was this painful air in the dim house with its old furniture and its dark colours, an awareness that Grandma’s age scared her grandkids. I would long during the dutiful visit to get outside into the yard, where Grandma had transplanted a few flowers when she moved from the farm. But even the yard, with its overgrown hedges(篱笆) and rusted metal lawn chairs, seemed dull. When I came back inside, light and air bursting in with me, Grandma, her hair up, would rock a little and smile. I would lean then against my mother’s chair, Grandma’s fond eyes staring at me, and whisper out of the corner of my mouth, “Mom, can we go?”72. From the overall context of the passage, it is most likely that the word requisite means ___________.A. essentialB. recreationalC. happyD. expected73. My mother ___________.A. owned a bright, spacious farmhouseB. listened to grandma carefully and patientlyC. described her small illnesses to meD. would listen to grandma for at least one hour74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. I would sit at the white and red metal table, cracking almonds.B. I would lift the lid quickly enough to set it down on the metal table.C. It was impolite to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s.D. Grandma had transplanted a few flowers in the yard.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Weekly VisitB. The Grandma’s LoveC. A Family ReunionD. My joyful SaturdaysSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Break it upB. Have a listC. Sleep on itD. Create Visual AidsE. Take Small Bites of TimeF. Do it Out LoudThere are many ways to help you improve your memory.76.Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you spend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. You’ll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. They’re a great way to add more study time to your schedule.77.When you have a list to memorize, divide the list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter ones—and, for some reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them.78.Give yourself visual assistance in memorizing. If there’s a tricky combination of letters in a word you need to spell, for example, circle or underline it in red or highlight it in the text. Your eye will recall what the word looks like. With some information, you can even draw a map or picture to help you remember.79.Give yourself auditory assistance in memorizing. Many people learn best if they hear the information. Sit by yourself in a quiet room and say aloud what you need to learn. Or give your notes to someone else and let that person ask you or quiz you on the material.80.When you study right before going to bed and don’t allow any interference—such as conversation, radio, television, or music—to come between study and sleep, you remember material better. This is especially true if you review first thing after waking as well. A rested and relaxed brain seems to hang on to information better than a tired and stressed-out brain.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.It is foolish to dream of reversing history. We cannot pass laws forbidding science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will not merely stay, they will grow smarter, faster, and more useful every year. They willcontinue growing because engineers want to build them, scientists want to use them, industrialists want to employ them, scientists want to enlist them in new weapons systems, politicians want their help in the processes of government. In short, they will flourish（兴旺）because they enable us to finish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to improve our intelligence for the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not, but rather, since we are going to have them, how can we make the most intelligent use of them?Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. How will the computing machines change every year?82. Why will the computing machines keep growing?83. The question we must ask mentioned in Para. 1 is _____________.84. From the warning at the end of the passage, we can conclude computers should not be used to _____________.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When having an interview, it’s not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they’ll put you on the spot and they’ll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs.65. What should you think about when having an interview?A. How to express what you want to say.B. How to use a flat monotone voice.C. How to ask very detailed questions.D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you needn’t explain _________.A. the action you tookB. the results you gotC. your eagerness to carry out the projectD. a situation or a task that you were given67. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A. To give suggestions on having an interview.B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer.C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before interview.D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.(B)68. Linda uses the word children to describe her pets because ________.A. she believes her pets possess childlike qualitiesB. the pets have taken the place of her childrenC. she dresses them in children’s clothingD. the pets all have a lovely girlish figure69. If the pet sitter doesn’t supervise her, ________.A. Regina will play with the catB. Regina will spend an hour wanderingC. Regina will solve her problem herselfD. Regina will damage her owner’s furniture70. The pet sitter is advised to tell Regina “good girl” ________.A. after Regina finds the ballB. after Regina drops the ballC. when Regina brings the ball backD. every time Regina goes after the ball71. What are the three animals mentioned in the letter?A. Two cats and a dog.B. A cat, a dog and a parrot.C. Two dogs and an unspecified animal.D. A dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal.(C)The requisite visit happened typically on every Saturday, when my child spirits were at their highest as it was sunny and could be most weakened by the narrow inner part of my grandmother’s house. My mother, accustomed to the bright, spacious farmhouse that was Grandma’s, seemed no less sensitive to the darkness. She would set her jaw and listened when Grandma described how many small illnesses appeared as she grew older and would check her watch—an hour being the minimum she expected herself to endure. Her barely contained impatience and my grandmother’s disabled age radiated out around me.I would sit at the white and red metal table with the pull-out and built-in silverware drawer, cracking almonds(杏仁). This was the one good thing at Grandma’s house, the almonds, which she kept in a green glass bowl. I would lift the lid carefully and try to set it down on the metal table quietly, then attempt to crack the nuts without scattering the shell crumbs（碎屑）. It was not good to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s. Sounding angry, she would call to me in her long drawl(长调). When I failed to understand her, she would reach out to me with her trembling and wrinkled hand and shout, “Here!” She would be offering some of her handmade candy, which tasted a little bitter.There was this painful air in the dim house with its old furniture and its dark colours, an awareness that Grandma’s age scared her grandkids. I would long during the dutiful visit to get outside into the yard, where Grandma had transplanted a few flowers when she moved from the farm. But even the yard, with its overgrown hedges(篱笆) and rusted metal lawn chairs, seemed dull. When I came back inside, light and air bursting in with me, Grandma, her hair up, would rock a little and smile. I would lean then against my mother’s chair, Grandma’s fond eyes staring at me, and whisper out of the corner of my mouth, “Mom, can we go?”72. From the overall context of the passage, it is most likely that the word requisite means___________.A. essentialB. recreationalC. happyD. expected73. My mother ___________.A. owned a bright, spacious farmhouseB. listened to grandma carefully and patientlyC. described her small illnesses to meD. would listen to grandma for at least one hour74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. I would sit at the white and red metal table, cracking almonds.B. I would lift the lid quickly enough to set it down on the metal table.C. It was impolite to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s.D. Grandma had transplanted a few flowers in the yard.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Weekly VisitB. The Grandma’s LoveC. A Family ReunionD. My joyful SaturdaysSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Break it upB. Have a listC. Sleep on itD. Create Visual AidsE. Take Small Bites of TimeF. Do it Out LoudThere are many ways to help you improve your memory.76.Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you spend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. You’ll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. They’re a great way to add more study time to your schedule.77.When you have a list to memorize, divide the list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter ones—and, for some reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them.78.Give yourself visual assistance in memorizing. If there’s a tricky combination of letters in a word you need to spell, for example, circle or underline it in red or highlight it in the text. Your eye will recall what the word looks like. With some information, you can even draw a map or picture to help you remember.79.Give yourself auditory assistance in memorizing. Many people learn best if they hear the information. Sit by yourself in a quiet room and say aloud what you need to learn. Or give your notes to someone else and let that person ask you or quiz you on the material.80.When you study right before going to bed and don’t allow any interference—such as conversation, radio, television, or music—to come between study and sleep, you remember material better. This is especially true if you review first thing after waking as well. A rested and relaxed brain seems to hang on to information better than a tired and stressed-out brain.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.It is foolish to dream of reversing history. We cannot pass laws forbidding science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will not merely stay, they will grow smarter, faster, and more useful every year. They will continue growing because engineers want to build them, scientists want to use them, industrialists want to employ them, scientists want to enlist them in new weapons systems, politicians want their help in the processes of government. In short, they will flourish（兴旺）because they enable us to finish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to improve our intelligence for the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not, but rather, since we are going to have them, how can we make the most intelligent use of them?Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. How will the computing machines change every year?82. Why will the computing machines keep growing?83. The question we must ask mentioned in Para. 1 is _____________.84. From the warning at the end of the passage, we can conclude computers should not be used to_____________.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 16 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee.

Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 19 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 20 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 21 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 22 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 23 fake （假货）. When he was 24 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 25 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 26 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 27 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 28 . For many times of entry-exit 29 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 30 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 31 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 32 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 33 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 34 , which he would remember as the 35 of his success forever.16. . set up B. took up C. went up D. picked up17. . honors B. mentions C. brings D. owes18. . decided B. refused C. objected D. asked19. . books B. things C. savings D. pounds20. . ordinary B. routine C. regular D. common21. . look B. inspection C. test D. experiment22. . one B. it C. them D. these23. . priceless B. useful C. worthless D. valuable24. . afraid B. proud C. ashamed D. hard25. . that B. what C. as D. which26. . on B. at C. who D. in27. . disappointed B. delighted C. amazed D. satisfied28. . strictly B. quietly C. quickly D. curiously29.

Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten fold in some cities.Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province，faced sudden shortages.The government took measures to guarantee enough supply and to stabilize（稳定）the market. It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout was unlikely to reach the country, and that salt did not help to prevent radiation poisoning.Local authorities have stepped in to stabilize the market, too. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.Wang Yun, the General Manager of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, "Our storage reserves can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market."36．People made panic purchases of salt for the reasons EXCEPT______________.A. salt might protect them from po tential nuclear radiation. nuclear radiation might pollute food sourcesC. nuclear radiation might pollute salt taken from the seaD. there would be a shortage of salt on the market37．The underlined word “fold” in the third paragraph means _______.A. times . prices C. quantities D. means38．What measures did the government take for the panic buying?A. Enough salt would be offered to each house.. It admitted that salt could stop nuclear radiation.C. Authorities urged state-owned salt companies to increase the supply.D. Those who spread the rumor were all arrested and punished.39．What is the purpose of the writer to give the example of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation?A. To tell readers that there is a salt company in beijing.. To make people believe that the supply of salt is enough.C. To call on panic people to buy enough salt.D. To prove what the government did was right.Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?Today I looked up the word “hero” in th e dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. Wh en I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".40. The main idea of the passage is _______________.A. why the writer should be a hero . what a hero exactly isC. whether the writer is a heroD. that everyone is a hero41. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A. ecause his story saved her so n’s life.. ecause he saved a family from a burning car.C. ecause he asked her son not to kill himself.D. ecause he was cute and kind to everybody.42. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The wonderful card the writer received 。

I was going to marry her when I grew up—__21__she would wait. I couldn’t bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by 22 the classroom. I always raised my hands when she called for volunteers to gather 23 and bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made 24 getting near enough to her. I would arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order.I started pestering my mother to put extra fruit 25 my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the delicacy was put unobserved on her desk. And the 26 was always the same. She would come in and sit down. “How nice!” She would pick the fruit up, then 27 the room. “What thoughtful little child brought me this?” No one claimed the honor, least of all me. “28 it be that I have a secret admirer?” she would ask. I would feel the red rising in my face, and I would sigh with 29 when Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson.One morning, the class was excited. The next day was Miss Benson’s birthday. My heart beat fast---I could give her something 30 . That afternoon was spent combing for wild flowers. I found several kinds.The next morning I hung back as others presented their gifts. 31 I went to the desk and gave the flowers to Miss Benson. She was pleased, and held it to 32 cheek for a moment.The next Monday, Miss Benson was not in class. Then I was 33 to go to the principal’s office. When I arrived, I saw my mother. On a table were my flowers.“Do you know 34 Miss Benson is today?” the principal asked. “ 35 , sir,” I answered. “Miss Benson,” he said. “is in the hospital, and you sent her there!” I sat, 36 , in my chair. “Do you know what you gave her?” he continued. I 37 , “some flowers.” “They were poisonous!” He was angry. “How did you protect 38 when you picked them?”“I didn’t know they were poisonous.” I cried.I begged my mother to take me to th e hospital. Miss Benson was in bed when we arrived. “I didn’t 39 to make you sick…” I said. Miss Benson smiled, “You wanted to give me something special, didn’t you?” I was filled with happiness.

The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell.The Moscow Metro Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.The Hong Kong Metro Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .Shanghai Metro Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.The London Metro Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them re membering to “Mind the gap”.41. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR42. ________ is done with the purpose of making money.A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR43. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________.A. carries the most people each dayB. is the world’s largestC. may be larger than the Chicago “L” in the futureD. is the busiest in the world44. How many subways carry more than 5 million people per day?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BArchaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historiansuse paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don’t break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—buy it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy manual work in this life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.45. Which language does the word “archaeology” come from?A. French.B. GreekC. Roman.D. German。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When having an interview, it’s not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they’ll put you on the spot and they’ll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs.65. What should you think about when having an interview?A. How to express what you want to say.B. How to use a flat monotone voice.C. How to ask very detailed questions.D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you needn’t explain _________.A. the action you tookB. the results you gotC. your eagerness to carry out the projectD. a situation or a task that you were given67. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A. To give suggestions on having an interview.B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer.C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before interview.D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.(B)68. Linda uses the word children to describe her pets because ________.A. she believes her pets possess childlike qualitiesB. the pets have taken the place of her childrenC. she dresses them in children’s clothingD. the pets all have a lovely girlish figure69.

What are the three animals mentioned in the letter?A. Two cats and a dog.B. A cat, a dog and a parrot.C. Two dogs and an unspecified animal.D. A dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal.(C)The requisite visit happened typically on every Saturday, when my child spirits were at their highest as it was sunny and could be most weakened by the narrow inner part of my grandmother’s house. My mother, accustomed to the bright, spacious farmhouse that was Grandma’s, seemed no less sensitive to the darkness. She would set her jaw and listened when Grandma described how many small illnesses appeared as she grew older and would check her watch—an hour being the minimum she expected herself to endure. Her barely contained impatience and my grandmother’s disabled age radiated out around me.I would sit at the white and red metal table with the pull-out and built-in silverware drawer, cracking almonds(杏仁). This was the one good thing at Grandma’s house, the almonds, which she kept in a green glass bowl. I would lift the lid carefully and try to set it down on the metal table quietly, then attempt to crack the nuts without scattering the shell crumbs（碎屑）. It was not good to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s. Sounding angry, she would call to me in her long drawl(长调). When I failed to understand her, she would reach out to me with her trembling and wrinkled hand and shout, “Here!”She would be offering some of her handmade candy, which tasted a little bitter.There was this painful air in the dim house with its old furniture and its dark colours, an awareness that Grandma’s age scared her grandkids. I would long during the dutiful visit to get outside into the yard, where Grandma had transplanted a few flowers when she moved from the farm. But even the yard, with its overgrown hedges(篱笆) and rusted metal lawn chairs, seemed dull. When I came back inside, light and air bursting in with me, Grandma, her hair up, would rock a little and smile. I would lean then against my mother’s chair, Grandma’s fond eyes staring at me, and whisper out of the corner of my mouth, “Mom, can we go?”72. From the overall context of the passage, it is most likely that the word requisite means___________.A. essentialB. recreationalC. happyD. expected73. My mother ___________.A. owned a bright, spacious farmhouseB. listened to grandma carefully and patientlyC. described her small illnesses to meD. would listen to grandma for at least one hour74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. I would sit at the white and red metal table, cracking almonds.B. I would lift the lid quickly enough to set it down on the metal table.C. It was impolite to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s.D. Grandma had transplanted a few flowers in the yard.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Weekly VisitB. The Grandma’s LoveC. A Family ReunionD. My joyful SaturdaysSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.There are many ways to help you improve your memory.76.Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you spend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. You’ll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. They’re a great way to add more study time to your schedule.77.When you have a list to memorize, divide the list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter ones—and, for some reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them.78.Give yourself visual assistance in memorizing. If there’s a tricky combination of letters in a word you need to spell, for example, circle or underline it in red or highlight it in the text. Your eye will recall what the word looks like. With some information, you can even draw a map or picture to help you remember.79.Give yourself auditory assistance in memorizing. Many people learn best if they hear the information. Sit by yourself in a quiet room and say aloud what you need to learn. Or give your notes to someone else and let that person ask you or quiz you on the material.80.When you study right before going to bed and don’t allow any interference—such as conversation, radio, television, or music—to come between study and sleep, you remember material better. This is especially true if you review first thing after waking as well. A rested and relaxed brain seems to hang on to information better than a tired and stressed-out brain.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.It is foolish to dream of reversing history. We cannot pass laws forbidding science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will not merely stay, they will grow smarter, faster, and more useful every year. They will continue growing because engineers want to build them, scientists want to use them, industrialists want to employ them, scientists want to enlist them in new weapons systems, politicians want their help in the processes of government. In short, they will flourish（兴旺）because they enable us to finish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to improve our intelligence for the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles.
